Cambridge Medicine Students and Applicants

Thanks.

This is not an argument, we just have different opinions which is fine.

The divorce thing is really silly though, if that affects you really badly then your not going to be mature enough at cambridge anyway (not aimed at you obv)

Ah well, shall agree to disagree and what not (Y)

Okay, agreed

Good luck with your application, and sorry if i was bit irrational with my comments earlier

If it's any help, I got my offer having only A*AABBCD. Your final exams as well as your interview are the most important factors. However, without an interview I doubt you'd have any chance. Organize one when the time comes.

I'm applying through the CSAS, due to crappy GCSE results

was that for your GCSE or AL??

i) is satisfied by all colleges, as far as I know.
iv) if you want to get involved in that, look up the Tompkins and Baxter tables.
vii) look at a map (Google maps, the university one); most of them are fairly central apart from Girton, Homerton, Churchill, Robinson and Jesus (in roughly decreasing levels of remoteness - Churchill, Jesus and Robinson are all well within a 10 minute walk of the centre, Girton's a couple miles out, and I'm not sure where Homerton is)

The colleges are all fairly similar, although there are primary differences in size and wealth. I don't want to say they're identical (e.g. Queens' runs an extra little compsci class and has regular subject Formals) but I think you'd probably be unlucky (or misguided) to be devastated by ending up at one college rather than another.

thank you
but i read somewhere that trinity hall kicks out students for second year and then only half live in the college for third year
thats why i put emphasis on living in the college for the whole 3 years

i just was wondering if you could choose to do english for your 3rd year choice as a medic, i know many people continue to do a science but i would love to do english, but i'm not doing english as an a level

could any cambridge medic give me an insight of what they chose and whether english is possible to do

thank you

I don't know anyone who did English in third year, but I do know people who have done Law, Theology, Oriental Studies, and Management.

Whether you're allowed to do a subject other than the biological Natural Sciences would probably be up to your college's Directors of Studies (of medicine and the subject you want to switch to) - so if you were to do that you would in all likelihood need approval from your college's medic DoS and DoS for English.

(I don't know any more than that, I'm afraid, as I did Part II Natural Sciences for my third year...)
